Breakfast, books, bye for now.

When I alighted from the bus, I was pleasantly surprised to run into her.

'Hey,' I called out.

She turned around and saw me. 'Oh hi! I didn't see you.'

'Are you having breakfast?'

'Yup. Where are you eating?'

'Near the stall behind. There are very few stalls I can eat from. You okay with that? Or are you packing?'

'I'll join you,' she said.

She told me she had read the book I recommended, but had not watched the DVD.

'The book was really engrossing. I was reading it till eleven plus and my hubby asked me if I was going to finish it by twelve or thereabouts.'

'Oh dear. Doesn't sound like a good idea...'

'It's okay. Sometimes he plays online games till twelve plus too.'

'I read the author you recommended. She's really not my cup of tea. A bit dark and depressing. I don't think I'll ever pick up another of her books again.'

We talked about other things -- the past, fashion (I liked her olive green bag; but then I like everything olive green), colleagues, gaming (I know nuts of course) etc.

It was time to go. She asked for my number. I gave my number to her and she gave me a missed call.

'Bye, see you.'

'Bye.'
